Build it once. Kept running, forever.
Most people build your site and disappear. I stick around. A simple monthly plan keeps everything fast, secure, and up to date, and means I’m one message away whenever you need something.

Hi, I’m Jacob. I handle your website end to end, so you can get back to running your business.
I’m a senior software engineer with ten years building web apps for startups and corporations. Along the way I saw how often small businesses get overcharged for sites they can’t update and never hear about again, so I started Searchbar Studio to do it differently: you work with me directly, I build it properly, and I stick around to keep it running. And if you ever need more than a website, I can build that too.
I’m based in Tempe, working with businesses across the Phoenix metro and with clients anywhere online.
